BULLOCH FARMERS
SHIPPING CATTLE
STATESBORO, April 15.—When
it was reported this week that
(Cap) B. T. Mallard had sold 115
head of fine cattle at fancy prices,
it was also stated that there were
others in the county who have fine
cattle. It wal plainly demonstrated
today that assertion was correct,
and also the assertion that Bullock
County is rapidly becoming a cattle
growing county.
Hook, and Smith shipped to Dub
lin Saturday afternoon forty-three
head of very fine cattle—stall-fed
—which weighed approximately 500
pounds each. They were sold to a
Mr. Japaway in the Laurens County
capital. The forty-three head
brought $1,417. 97.
There are several others in the
county known to have “fatted
calves.” It is also known that
many of the farmers are becoming
interested in the pursuit and within
a few months there will be many
like Sheriff Mallard, Dr. Hook and
Sidney Smith, to say not the least
of Johne Hendrix, who is reputed tc
have the best herd of steers in
Georgia.
8188 SHERIFF TO STOP
AUTO PARKING ON ROADS

have been warned by Chief deputy
Sheriff Mullally, to keep moving
while on these roads. The an
nouncement was made by the dep

perienced on roads near the city
of Macon. Deputies have been or
dered to watch the roads and pre
vent parking ane if possible to

measure to reduce the number of
hold ups which have occurred ’in
this vicinity within the past few
months.

Letters from
Ihe People
JUDGE FERGUSON WAS
LONG DE SOTO MAYOR
The Times Recorder has received
the following eulogistic story of
the life of Judge E. S. Ferguson,
who was during many years mayor
of DeSoto and long prominent in
the affairs of his home community,
contributed by L. L. Wiggins, a
prominent resident of DeSoto com
munity, which is of interest among
many friends throughout the coun
ty.
Life’s first breath for Edward
Stanley Ferguson, Sr. was sweet
with the blooms of sunny Florida,
he being born in that state January
sth 1850, where he lived till thirty
years of age, when he mpved to
Lee County Ga., engaging in farm
ing and teaching, in his opinion the
I noblest callings that could occupy
the time of man.
“At the age of thirty three Mr.
Ferguson took as a life partnel
Miss Fannie A. Crocker than whom
no more devoted wife, fond mother
and faithful friend ever graced
and blessed a southern home.
“Mrs. Ferguson, three sons and
one daughter, S. H, Emmet F.,
John E., and Alice (Mrs. H. N,
West) and a host of more distant
relatives, survive to mourn his loss,
(treasure his many virtues and em
ulate his splendid traits and quali
ties.
“About thirty five years ag:-,
Judge Fergu/on moved from Lee
'to Sumter County and located in
DeSot o where he resided until April
10th 1924, which was the date of
his death, at the mature age of
seventy four.
“During his residence in DeSoto
I Mr. Ferguson was engaged in farm
ing and the mercantile fousijiess,
being for a number of yeas one of
the most enterprising and success
ful merchants of this section of
the county. Time and again he
was mayor of DeSoto, always faith
ful and diligent in the performance,
pf his official duties while for the
last several years of his life he was
Justice of The Peace of this Disk,
holding said office in honor and
fidelity to the closing day of life.
“Our esteemed friend was en
dowed with a strong mind, and en
dued with an indomitable will,
power and tireless energy that per
sisted in vigor till the Lord in
w-hom he trusted and whom he serv
ed saw fit to call him from the
scenes of time to the experiences
of Eternity.
“Judge Ferguson was a charter
member of DeSoto Lodge No. 361.
He was a firm believer in the tenets
and brotherly love of masonry,
which, next to Christianity, is the
sublimest faith among men. For
many years Judge Ferguson was a
trusted, useful and faithful mem
ber of the Missionary paptist
. church at DeSoto. He enjoyed its
communion, was supported by it:
, teachings, was cheered by its minis
and triumphed at the las.
in its spiritual consolations.”
L. L. Wiggins.

'■S’ /daily poem
BILLY BOOM
He’s a red-cheeked little fellow
and he’s kinda shy of hair. There’s
a tiny little round spot for a nose.
Sweetest voive, just sorta mellow
and a disposition rare that you feci
the real effect of when he crows.
Saucer eyes that fairly glisten
when you chuck him ’neath the chin;
little paddies that will reach up for
your face. It’s a pleasure just to
listen to the gurgle with his grin, as
his peepers sorta trail you ’round
the place.
Dimpled knee and shapely should
er, plumpish neck and manly chest.
What a wonder little fellow is this
mite. Let us hope, as he grows
older, that he’ll hold the youthful
zest that has brought us cheer and
gladness day and night.
When his velvet arms are ’round
your cheek and he sorta cuddles
closely as he can, happiness itself
has found you and has conqured, so
to speak. And he rules you, does
this tiny little man.
Billy Boom, you’re just tht start
ing of a future grown-up man, and
you’ve brought somebody everything
but gloom. From your nickname
we’ll be parting when you’re older,
understand, but today, with us, you’-
er simply Billy Boom!
